If you come along to our anniversary coffee morning on Saturday 5th July (10 a.m. – 1 p.m.), you will be able to see over a thousand photos of what we have been doing over the past fifteen years. Some of the things we do happen regularly (our New Year’s Day party, for example, and our Christmas carol services and other Christmas events). Some are ‘one-offs’ (such as our tea party to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 or our party to celebrate the King’s coronation in 2023.)
We’ve always tried to go with God’s heart and serve our local community in a variety of ways. That has included Easter marches throughout the town centre (and in 2018 we did a ‘church crawl’ from Furlong Road Methodist Church in Bolton upon Dearne through to the Salvation Army, GPCC, parish church and Sacred Heart RC Church in Goldthorpe and then onto the Pentecostal church in Thurnscoe and St Helen’s.) We have been present at fun days in Phoenix Park (the swelteringly hot dinosaur day in 20?? Comes to mind, plus the fun days we organised there from 2021-2023), at fayres at Goldthorpe Railway Embankment (spring, autumn and Christmas), attended the Bounce Into Summer event on occasions and for many years were involved in the Christmas market organised by Goldthorpe Development Group, which resulted in raising money for the Salvation Army’s Christmas appeals. We believe that Christians are called to be salt and light wherever they are, and our involvement in the community is a reflection of this belief.
The photo wall and displays on Saturday reflect not only the diversity of activities done in fifteen years but the diversity of people who have attended such events. Come along and find out if you’re on our ‘walls of fame’!
